Just to correct some misinformation in an earlier post by someone who was criticizing as impossible another poster's hypothesis that Jeremiah Canniff might have been an Irishman.<br>At the time when the first two Jeremiah Canniffs resided in Westchester County, the Bronx was indeed a part of Westchester County, not separate.<br>Jeremiah Canniff is recorded in 1669 as receiving a home lot in Mamaroneck from a a John Richbell, clearly an English rather than a Dutch or Spanish Jewish surname, whom the aforementioned critic suggested were the only residents of the area.<br>In 1687, Jeremiah Canniff is referenced in the deed of a Henry Fowler of Mamaroneck - again Fowler is an English surname, not Dutch or Spanish Jewish.<br>In the 1687 Dongan Papers, Jeremiah and Ann Canniff along with his mother, Ann Savage, are listed as residents of Jonkers (Yonkers?) in Westchester County and as petitioners for assistance in the aftermath of the loss of their home through a tragic fire.<br>In the 1698 Census of Mamaroneck, Jeremiah Kanniffe is listed along with a preponderance of English surnames in Mamaroneck rather than Dutch ones.<br>In fact during this time period, English settlers from the Connecticut colonies were moving into Westchester County and mixing with the lower Hudson Valley Dutch. While not proven it is not inconceivable that some Irish indentured servants sold by Cromwell to the Puritan New England colonies in the aftermath of Cromwell's Irish campaign could have found their way into Westchester along with the rest of the English settlers. (see the history of David O'Killea and the O'Kelly family of Yarmouth on Cape Cod as a proven example of a similar occurrence).<br>I can find no other origins for the Canniff, Kenniff surname than an Irish Gaelic one despite claims by Canadian descendants of NY Canniff Loyalists who left for Canada that Jeremiah was an Irish Huguenot expelled from France by the Edict of Nantes. It may be so but it is also possible that in 19th Century Canada when these claims arose Anti-Irish Anti-Catholic feelings influenced descendants to give a Protestant veneer to a Gaelic Irish ancestor.<br>Likewise if the Ann Savage as noted in the Dongan Papers as Jeremiah Canniff's mother was actually his mother, Savage is a well known Norman name in both Ireland and England. It's likely we may never know Jeremiah the immigrant's true ancestry unless DNA tests by his descendants shed some additional light on the subject.<br>2015-09-15 19:58:45Zedwardrstewarthttp://boards.ancestry.com/surnames.canniff/13/mb.ashxRe: Canniffs from Corkhttp://boards.ancestry.com/surnames.canniff/10.1.1.1.1.2.1/mb.ashx
I recently uncovered some new info on my Canniffs, so I hope some of you see this even though the original thread is old. <br><br>I'm now looking for info on possible ancestors Daniel Caniv (Canniff(e)) and Nel Hurley of Bandon, who were supposedly the parents of John (c1833-1891) and James E (1843-1900). I'm descended from James; see my 2010 post, above. I have confirmed in the meantime that James E was likely born in March 1843 in Cork (exact location unknown), and that he married Margaret Corkery, the daughter of Jeremiah Corkery (1819-1887) and Catherine Sheehan (1812-1896), who married in Clondrohid Parish, Cork on 6 Feb 1838. James and Margaret had 6 children, the first few born in Ireland, and the rest born in Wales: James E Jr (c1865-1937), Jeremiah W (c1865-1914), Ellen Elizabeth (1866-1947), my ggfather John (1868-1893), Mary (1871-1898) and Margaret E (1872-1931). James Sr./Margaret, their children and the Corkery in-laws all moved from Cork to Wales (c1866) to the US (1873). Unfortunately, James Sr.'s death certificate lists his parents as "unknown."<br><br>James's older brother John married Mary Sullivan (c1835-1904) and they had at 5 known children, all born at Pembroke, Wales: James (1857-1910), John aka Ewin (1858-?), Mary A (1862-1938), Joseph P (1866-1942) and Ellen Bridget (1871-1875). Joseph married Annie Rebecca Evans in Bridgend, Wales, in 1908. They had no known children, and also Joseph apparently died without a will -- I found a 1959 legal notice from a London London newspaper notice that gave me some of the detail here, including the fact that "the parents of John and James Canniff are believed to have been Daniel Caniv and Nel Caniv (nee Hurley) of Bandon." <br><br><a href="http://www.london-gazette.co.uk/issues/41685/pages/2564/page.pdf" target="_blank">http://www.london-gazette.co.uk/issues/41685/pages/2564/page...</a><br><br>Does anyone have any further info about this family, especially any records or other info for Daniel and Nel, or info for any of their children, grandchildren or other relatives?2014-03-04 01:19:48ZCanniffBhttp://boards.ancestry.com/surnames.canniff/10.1.1.1.1.2.1/mb.ashxCanniff/Caverlyhttp://boards.ancestry.com/surnames.canniff/12/mb.ashx
Researching Peter Caverly III<br>1 Aug 2012<br>Using my library and Canniff file cabinet info this is what I have.<br>Peter Caverly III m Eliz Canniff.<br>Peter Caverly III son of Peter Caverly II. Peter III b abt 1763 in New York state.<br>US census 1790, Ulster County, shows a Peter Caverly with a household of 10. I suspect this is the household of Peter II and Peter III maybe in the household. Peter III would be 27.<br>There is land activity in Ulster County for a Peter Caverly but this is likely Peter II.<br>1800 census, Marlborough, Ulster County we have a Peter Caverly in household of 4, one male over 45 is likely Peter II and there does not appear to be anyone in the household to match the age of Peter III.<br>Is Peter Caverly III in Canada by 1800?<br>Peter Caverly III possible land lease in Hastings County in 1809 and indication he was an area resident since 1803.<br>Eliz Canniff married 2 or 3 times.<br> 1. John Nugent<br>2. Peter Caverly III<br>3. John Nugent ??? <br>John Canniff`s will of 1843 identifies a dau. Eliz. Nugent. Therefore she married Nugent after Peter Caverly III. In 1831 Eliz Canniff, wife of Peter Caverly, asks John P. Caverly to help administer the estate of Peter Caverly. (I wonder if this John Caverly is a brother of Peter Caverly III. I have John Caverly death after 1833 per R.D. Owen, so it is possible John was Peter III brother.)<br>If Eliz Canniff is born abt 1789 in Ontario marriage to Peter Caverly III would likely be 1805 or later when she was at least 16 in Ontario. In 1805 Peter Caverly III may have been 42.<br>If Peter Caverly III 1763-1831 he would be abt. 68 when he died and Eliz.42, married for possibly 26 years which means they likely had children.<br>If Eliz Canniff remarried after 1831 (age 42) she may not have had more children. Possible children for Eliz Canniff depends on who she married 1st.<br>My present thoughts are the children of Peter Caverly III and Eliz Canniff between 1805 and 1830 were:<br>John P. – <br>Joseph Peter – b 1787<br>Amos M Caverly ** - b 1786<br>Amy – b 1772.<br>There is a question mark regarding Amy since we appear to have her as a connection to Nathaniel Wyatt and indication she was in Ulster County. Much of this is based on the memoirs of Wm Wyatt. <br>2013-08-01 12:45:40ZPaulCaverlyhttp://boards.ancestry.com/surnames.canniff/12/mb.ashxRe: Jeremiah Canniffhttp://boards.ancestry.com/surnames.canniff/11.2/mb.ashx
Did anyone else get a post from a person trying to say that Westchester is now the Bronx and that Jeremiah Canniff was an Irishman Named O'Kenf?!! Both ideas incorrect! Westerchester is the Sleepy Hollow area and there were historically no Irish in that area at that time, only Dutch and French and possibly a few Spainish Jews. 2012-05-07 15:28:31Zts_teaboxhttp://boards.ancestry.com/surnames.canniff/11.2/mb.ashxRe: Jeremiah Canniffhttp://boards.ancestry.com/surnames.canniff/11.1/mb.ashx

I'm also trying to trace my Canniffs, who left Ireland (I strongly suspect they were from Cork, but have no proof) around 1867, lived in Swansea, Wales for a number of years, and then emigrated to the US (Canton, Massachusetts) in 1873. My ggg-grandfather was a James Canniff (also listed as John in one source), born in Ireland about 1843 and died in the US in 1900, married Margaret Corkery who I believe was also from Cork. I know this James isn't yours, but I would love to see if we could find a connection. I have tried to connect my Canniffs to the Crowley-Canniff line, as my grandparents always said we were distantly related, but I have again found no link.<br><br>I believe the Crowley-Canniffs are from Bandon, County Cork. Keiron55: do you know where in Cork your Canniffs were from? How and when did they get to Wales, and did they subsequently move elsewhere? I have met other Canniffs online who are from Wales, but again, no connections. Cork to Wales was apparently a common migration, especially for steelworkers (as my ancestors were). Then when work dried up, many moved on to the US.<br><br>Thanks in advance for any additional info you might have.<br><br>Bridget2010-07-08 21:50:20ZCanniffBhttp://boards.ancestry.com/surnames.canniff/10.1.1.1.1/mb.ashxRe: Canniffs from Corkhttp://boards.ancestry.com/surnames.canniff/10.1.1.1/mb.ashx

From The Arlington Advocate, 5 May 1938 - <br><br> Cannifs Observe 35th Anniversary<br> ———<br> On Friday evening, April 29, Mr. and Mrs. John Cannif<br> entertained at dinner at their home, 34 Moulton street, in honor of<br> their parents, Mr. and Mrs. Michael Cannif of 167 Mystic street,<br> whose 35th wedding anniversary it was. The dining room was<br> beautifully decorated for the party, and a delicious dinner was<br> served. Forming the centerpiece on the dining table was a huge<br> wedding cake, and the “bride” repeated the cake cutting ceremony<br> of thirty-five years ago. <br> The high point of the evening was the presentation by five-year-old<br> Jackie Cannif, a grandchild, of a wedding bouquet to Mr. and Mrs.<br> Cannif. From the bouquet extended a shower of thirty-five white<br> ribbons, and attached to each ribbon was a crisp new one-dollar<br> bill. This was the gift of their son John and their daughter Margaret.<br> The lovely bouquet was designed and fashioned by Joseph Beasley. <br> Mr. and Mrs. Cannif were the recipients of many other lovely gifts<br> and many congratulatory telegrams. During the course of the evening<br> a messenger brought a telegram and a large box of cut flowers,<br> which when opened probed to be thirty-five American Beauty roses.<br> This beautiful tribute came from the Rev.
